Summary: THE BIGGEST CON IN THE UNIVERSE OF DVD!
Comment: And a slap in the face to the fans of this lame show!
I have watched every episode of this series at least once; some twice or even three times, if they are exceptional!
But what I cannot stand is being taken for a chump!
I am not going to go into a detailed review of these two "Straight to DVD movies". There are more than enough posts to cover the bogus, rehashed plot elements.
I am briefly going to cover one important fact. The Stargate & Company franchise's attitude to their viewers: "To hades with you, give us your money chimp!"
This is the formula that is truly in place for the continuation of Stargate & Company!
They were supposed to release these movies on DVD and then air them on SciFi. Greed entered the picture; and now it's like waiting on some lost Orson Welles masterpiece to finally be aired on telelvision. Well, this is not masterpiece--though I wish it were lost.
To think of all the time spent by so many viewers of the show, and then these schmucks do not end the series; they just want to force everyone to buy a DVD that ends the series; but wait, it doesn't end it so you have to buy "Continuum" to have an ending. But they are already trying to assemble the original cast for a third ending? How many endings to we have to have? As many as shall make them so comfortable they can buy their own Stargate! :(
And if you doubt my assessment, then you need only know that Stargate Atlantis is ending after only five seasons. They are going to film a movie continuing their battle with the Wraith (the Goua'uld with bad, blue skin problems); this we are told shall air on Scifi, then go to DVD. And if this promise is kept? What about after? I bet no more Scifi first airings. Oh no: straight to DVD, and we may never see Atlantis movies on Scifi again. Not that that wouldn't be a tragedy. But the idea I am to shut up and buy a DVD to find out the ending of a show takes you and me for utter imbeciles.
In short: they can take the whole franchise, along with the con, and shove it up their "stargate hole"!
And a third series is in the making: "Stargate Universe" or something like that. It shall air on Scifi. If it's successful, welcome to Ori-hell. It's end without ending; and shall go to "DVD movie of the week status!" Just like these.
Idiotic.
We should all "dial-out"; and leave Stargate as a very bad memory. Sort of like roasted Prior, without the parsely! Stick a fork in "it", and this franchise! It is done . . .

Summary: Stargate: Continuum is beautifully written
Comment: Having been a huge fan of Stargate when Richard Dean Anderson was still involved, I loved the return to classic Stargate battle to save Earth from the Goulds. I wasn't a fan of the Ark of Truth--and was hesitant to watch Continuum. I am very glad I did. There were many beautifully written scenes throughout, Landry's speech, Daniels attempting to contact himself, the President, the full lineup of the classic Goulds of the past, including Apophus and Ra (from the Stargate movie). What a treat!

Summary: We cant watch it on our TV
Comment: The quality is good but we live in Australia and our problem is that we can only watch the DVD's on our computer as they won't play on our DVD and TV. There must be something wrong with the formatting oe something, but we can watch them on the computer which is ok but disappointing.

Summary: StarGate: Continuum- Is this the End?
Comment: I like the way this one turned out! Looks like they neatly and tidily wrapped up the G'ould saga and can now close out the series without loose ends, or have them move on to other enterprises like getting rid of those pesky Ori, once and for all!

Summary: Borrow, don't buy!
Comment: A very predictable thrown-together movie to make a few more bucks from an otherwise outstanding series. Better than "Ark of Truth",but not much.

Baal travels back in time and prevents the Stargate program from ever being started. SG-1 team must somehow restore history and once again save the galaxy from oppressive domination.
